re: Trump's little BFF Levin crashes out over Rogan

So there's nothing to argue, Trump's entire first term was spent surrounded by Bushies, Graham, bombing countries,

What wars did Trump fight or start during his first term?

He was the first president since Carter not to fight or start a war.

I said he bombed countries, the same thing he's doing now.

He bombed Syria when his daughter cried, he dropped one on Soleimani. He's always done this, not to this extent but this isn't really new.

And so Levin's vast intellect tells him that picking fights with the world's most popular podcaster is a good idea? I don't think he should be questioning other people's intellect if that is the route he is taking.

You’re comparing shooting 150 missiles at Syria to a month long engagement with Iran involving $200B+ in spending encompassing multiple carrier task forces and sending in marines and airborne troops after regime change in Venezuela and openly telling us we will take out Cuba next?

Nothing in his first term or rhetoric suggested this was a likely outcome for his first two years.

Levin is a “Israel first and Israel only” Jew scum

I'll never in my life understand the appeal of Mark Levin. Even if I agreed with every word he said his voice is horrifying. And he actually thinks his pig squealing is his super cool "thing". Of course another self fart sniffer like Seance Hannity calls this little bitch "The Great One". It's all Israel all the time and if you even cock an eyebrow at anything to do with them Levin will wish death upon your whole family but if you agree that Israel is the only thing that matters then you could murder puppies and Levin would suck your dick purple. Trump has always been the cool president but he's aligned himself with the losers club this time

Levin is a typical Jew. They use their Jewness just like blacks use the race card. Can’t question anything or your an antisemite.

If you’re arguing he was lying during the campaign about wanting peace I guess there’s an argument to be made it was all a campaign hustle, but there is no objective argument that Trumps actions during his second term are reflective of his rhetoric and promises on the campaign trail from a foreign policy standpoint.

Trump wants peace. He doesn't want Iran starting conflicts all over the ME.

You conservatives really think that because Trump ran on peace that he should just let Iran have a nuke when they refuse to negotiate. That is not being a peace president, that is being a weak president.

It's absurd that you people think that wanting peace means you have to let terrorists do whatever they want. Because wanting peace means you can never, ever, ever go to war no matter the circumstances.

It takes both sides for peace unless you beat them into submission. Trump just can't unilaterally declare peace like you are acting.

You people are not reasonable. You can wish on a star for peace all you want, but it usually comes at the tip of a sword.

Trump has shown multiple times that he wants peace by ending several wars where the combatants are willing. But of course, you have to ignore that part of recent history.

I am because it demonstrates a pattern.

The guy who bombed Syria wasn't a dove or an isolationist, no matter how much you want to believe. If he's capable of doing that he was obviously capable of bombing Iran and *gasp* spending lots of money doing so.

This conversation is funny to me though. I'm still having the same arguments about Trump's neocon behavior from 2017-2020 but now with someone who's mad that Trump just now started showing neocon behavior.

He ran on peace.

“I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.” DJT on election night

He criticized endless conflicts in places like Iraq and portrayed himself as someone who stopped wars from happening and brought troops home, while warning that opponents would lead to broader global conflicts (including risks of “World War III”).

He hasn’t ended or stopped support for the Ukraine war.

He’s intervened in Venezuela.

He’s fighting a war in Iran.

He’s already telling us he’s going to intervene in Cuba.

Your argument is that in order to have peace he needs to fight a bunch of wars.

That’s the actual definition of a neocon interventionist and I disagree with you logically and morally. You’re paraphrasing Dick Cheney circa 2004 and most reasonable people walked away from that 20 years ago but you are apparently doubling down on it even as we begin sending ground troops.

We had a nuclear deal with Iran and peace in the Middle East. We have neither of those things now.
